Learn how to run real device mobile tests using Claude AI and Kobaton. We break down how to turn AI-generated Appium scripts into real production value. Try the Kobaton Claude integration in your real workflow for 3 months. Use code TESTGUILD3 here: https://links.testguild.com/Kobiton In this episode, we break down what actually works when it comes to AI-powered mobile test automation, especially when running tests on real devices (not simulators) directly from Claude. You’ll learn: How teams are generating and running Appium tests using natural language in minutes. Why AI-generated tests often fail—and how to avoid costly false positives. The real impact of AI on test automation roles and responsibilities. How real device testing exposes issues AI alone can’t catch. Practical ways to reduce test maintenance while increasing coverage. We also explore a major shift happening right now: AI is making it easier to create tests—but dramatically increasing the volume of code and risk that needs to be validated. That means one thing: Testing isn’t going away—it’s becoming more critical than ever. If you’re a QA engineer, automation engineer, or DevOps leader trying to keep up with AI-driven development, this episode will give you a clear, practical perspective on what to focus on next.
